Summary/Abstract: From the very first stages of planning the project to study the genome of Gregor Johann Mendel, it was clear that if Mendel’s remains were found in the tomb, it would not be possible to unequivocally identify them without a reference genetic material. The Augustinian tomb at the Brno Central Cemetery, where Gregor Johann Mendel is buried, has been used for more than 150 years, and the coffins are placed there more or less anonymously, and not in any order.
